meatballs and tomato sauce



Vito cooked for us tonight a dinner of meatballs and pasta in tomato sauce. Kids loved and for that matter so did I.


.5 kilo of mince (can be beef or a combination of pork and veal)

1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

1 egg

1-2 tablespoon breadcrumbs

Salt and pepper

½ small onion finely diced

Optional finely chopped parsley

Mix and massage mixture together with your hands and form into balls

Shallow fry meatballs in a heavy pan

Finely chop one medium onion and 2-3 cloves garlic and fry in olive oil.

Once the onion is translucent add 1-2 tablespoons of tomato paste and fry with onions for a couple of minutes

Add tin of chopped tomatoes and 1 cup of water

Let sauce come to the boil and simmer with meatballs for 45 – 60mins
